Abstract: 24,436. Nichols, A. P. Nov. 3. Heating by electricity. - In a continuous electric water-heater or steam-generator, water passes successively through tubes 5 of copper, brass, or the like, preferably carbon - lined, secured to conducting - heads 7, 7<1> having staggered connecting-passages 8, and is heated by current passing between the tubes and inner carbon electrodes 12. The inner electrodes are seated at one end in an insulating head 10, and pass at the other end through apertures in an insulating head 11 to a conducting head 13 connected to a terminal 22. The other terminal 21 is connected to the head 7<1>. The first and last of the inner electrodes are hollow and perforated, and connected to the inlet and outlet pipes 4, 6 respectively. The supply of water is controlled by a valve 16, connected by spur-wheels 17, 18 with a switch 20, so that the circuit is made only when water is flowing.

Title: Improved Throttling Valve and Nozzle for Carburetters of Internal Combustion Engines.
IPC: F02M9/127
Filed: 1912-10-18
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 23,858. Soc. des Automobiles Unic. Oct. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors. - A vertical sliding-piston throttle-valve 2 carries at its lower end a nozzle 8, which, when the throttle is lowered to its closing position, forms an extension of the nozzle 4 which is used for normal and high speeds. Thus, at low speeds, fuel issues from orifices 10 and mixes with air entering through orifices 11, and the resulting mixture passes to the engine through passages 12, which may be controlled by a screwed rod 13. Primary air enters at 5 and secondary air from an automatic valve at 6. When running at low speed, the tube 15 becomes filled with fuel, which, when the valve 2 is lifted, is easily drawn into the carburettor.

Abstract: 26,070. Engels, M. Nov. 13. Baling-presses. - In apparatus for binding bales of straw in which the wire is twisted between adjacent bales after having been thrust between the ends by a feeder, the twister 15 is made in two parts adapted to be opened to receive the wires 28, 29 presented to them by a feeder 3. The act of closing the twister, which is effected by the engagement of pins to side grooves 27, throws it into engagement with the driving-mechanism, thereby twisting the wires. A cutter severs the wires between the double twist and the jaws are opened to release the wires, thereby disengaging the twister from the driving-mechanism. Projections 4, 5 on one part, adapted to enter corresponding recesses on the other, retain the wires in proper relative position. The device may be duplicated.

Title: A New or Improved Means for Opening and Closing Watertight Doors, also Improved Means for Instantaneously Closing the same in Cases of Emergency.
Inventor: GREENWOOD ROBERT
IPC: B63B19/00
Filed: 1913-07-16
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 16,378. Greenwood, R. July 16. Operating doors by screw-and-nut mechanism and by weights.-Mechanism for opening and closing ships' watertight doors which permits instantaneous closing in an emergency consists of a divided shaft, to the lower part of which the door is attached, and a separate screwed shaft which raises and lowers a member which, normally, is operatively connected to the divided shaft but which, by a partial turn of the upper part of the divided shaft, is disconnected therefrom to allow the door to close by gravity. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the upper and lower parts c, c<1> of the divided shaft c', c are connected by a member f fixed to the upper part and swivelly connected to the lower part. A forked member j, Fig. 3, carrying a nut j<2> for operation by the screwed shaft k normally embraces the member f between the flanges h, h<1> and is operatively connected to it by the engagement of lugs i, i<1> with the flange h. The flange h is provided with notches, which, by turning the shaft c, are adapted to register with the lugs i, i<1> to disconnect the members f and j and allow the door to fall.. The shaft c is squared and is turned by a member t, Fig. 2, operated by a lever o through a link r and swivel block s. Several doors may be released from a single lever o, and by suitable gearing the release may be effected from the bridge. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the member f to which, by means of rods 6, the lower part c<1> of the divided shaft is connected, is slidably mounted on the upper shaft c which is turned by a lever 9.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Firearms.
Inventor: KRNKA KARL
IPC: F41A3/26
Filed: 1913-07-22
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 16,801. Krnka, K. Aug. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to automatic guns in which, upon discharge, the bolt head is able to move back a short distance to impart energy to a momentum block which effects the unlocking, as described in Specification 13,946/09, and consists in arranging the space which allows this backward movement behind the impact shoulders of the front pair of locking-lugs on the bolt, instead of between the bolt and the bolt head. The locking-surfaces 14, 15, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, of the two pairs of locking-lugs on the bolt b are of different pitch, the pitch of the second surface 15 being too great to secure positive locking. When the gun is in the position for firing, as shown in Fig. 2, there is a small space z behind the locking-surface 14. After the discharge, the breechbolt moves back this distance z, at the same time being rotated through a small angle, 16 degrees in the example shown. This rotation drives back the non-rotary momentum block c, Fig. 4, which is connected to the bolt by lugs 2<I>, 2<II>, 2<III>, 2<IV> and inclined grooves as described in the above-mentioned Specification. In the example given, a backward movement of the breech-block of 0À8 mm. produces a positive initial movement of the momentum block of 3À5 mm. The unlocking-grooves in the breechbolt are wider than the lugs on the momentum block, as shown in Fig. 5, so that the momentum block has a slight lost motion before it begins to rotate the bolt. The action may be so arranged that a single spring ef, Fig. 6, serves both as the firing-spring and the closing-spring. In this case, the firing-pin d, block c, and bolt b are all driven forward by the spring until the firing-pin is caught by the sear, the locking being then completed by momentum.

Abstract: 26,379. Buddeus, W. Nov. 17. Distilling zinc. - Zinc oxide of low specific gravity, such as is obtained by cupellation or by precipitation from zinc lyes, is mixed with a carbonaceous substance, such as coke dust, and blown into a heated reduction chamber by the conveying action of a current of a chemically inert or reducing gas. The gaseous products of reduction are led through a condenser, where the zinc vapour is condensed. The resulting carbonic oxide may be employed as the gaseous medium for carrying the zinc oxide &c. into the furnace, which is preferably in the form of a rotary cylinder with internal baffles and with heating-flues in the walls. The furnace is first heated internally by combustion gases, which are cut off when the furnace is white-hot and afterwards passed only through the heating- flues.
